Blissed Out

So after a crazyawesome Zumba class –we packed the house- I came home for a quick nap, a snack, and then the Pilot and I got ready to meet Mara and her friend for dinner.

Of course, we had to take them to our favorite place.

Cafe Poca Cosa!

Here’s last night’s menu –it changes daily based on what’s fresh at the market.

MY OTHER VIDEOS

[it actually changed again by the time we sat down- if they run out of something, they create another meal option]

Everything is served with foodgasmic chips and salsa, fresh tortillas, beans that taste like nana made them, and fluffy rice.

I always get whatever the fish choice is, but last night it was cod and I wasn’t feelin’ it, so I got brave and ordered something I always considered but never got around to trying: the tamale pie.

It was topped with corn and chilies, and in an almondshell, I wanted to crawl inside and live in it. So creamy, flavorful and great texture- not the least bit grainy. My eyes kind of glazed over, I was so blissed out 😉

Our table of gloriousness:

And just when we thought it couldn’t get any better… dessert happened 😀

We ordered the sampler trio, which included molten chocolate flourless cake with berries, lime mint cheesecake and cinnamon chocolate mousse. The molten replaced the mousse as my favorite dessert they offer 🙂

After dinner, we all went down to 4th ave to walk around –lots of cute little vintage stores and boutiques, bars and cafes- and ended up going to Maloney’s and Sky Bar, which is entirely solar-powered.

The only bars I’ve seen lately have been the chocolate variety, so it was fun to hang out 🙂

We’re off to run a couple of errands this morning and then Sunday brunch with the fam- see ya later today! xoxo

Today’s workout jam: “Americano” by Lady Gaga. I told the Pilot it makes me feel like I’m driving a Vespa in Italy with big sunglasses and a scarf tied around my neck.

That tamale pie looks so good! But not as good as the desserts! It is so cool that that bar is solar powered, did you have a good designated driver night? Is it strange to all of a sudden have to live a bit of a different life due to the preggers thing?

Hi Fitnessista – I’m a serious regular follower of your blog so I’m sorry to mention this if you had already and I just happened to have skipped it but my daughter pointed out an on demand movie that I watched this morning on juicing called “Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead”. There is a website as well as the movie itself. I watched it on Netflix instant watch today and was totally inspired. I’m not nearly as overweight as the people in the movie but it is inspirational from a cleansing juicing perspective. If you haven’t seen it yet, please try to catch it. It is super cool.

Girl I have been in Mexico City all weekend on photography assignment and tour, and you would LOVE the food here. It’s one thing after the next of just the type of thing I know you’d love. For me, it’s been a little lacking in the chocolate department but I have learned *so much* and seen so much.

I also teach aerobics and there is nothing better than teaching to a packed house full of energy filled students!! I teach a lot of different formats but one of my favorites is step and I always say that when a class has so much energy I feel like i am going to levitate right off my step with excitement!!! 🙂

seriously- i was high on life all night last night 🙂
what made it even more awesome was that all of the hardcore dancers were in the front row, so it was so much easier for everyone to see and follow and they were ROCKING OUT
you’re right, there really is nothing like it
